You can make a starter from any wheat based flour. The following photos in this post will show you what the stages of a wholewheat starter may look like as you make it across 7 days. These are a guide as things may look a little different in your kitchen with your flour.
This has been made using the steps and process you’ll find on my ‘how to make a starter’ page and in my full video.

If you are not sure if your starter is ready to use, continue to alternately feed it/discard and feed for a few more days until it grows several hours after feeding 3 days in a row, then give it a test run!
